2.1. Windows Activation reports a problem: Error Code 0xC004E003
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reason:

  Absent of the Visual Studio 2010 redistributables modules:

Solution #1:

  Install respective Visual Studio 2010 redistributables:

    * `Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable - 10.0.40219`

4. EXECUTION ERRORS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1. Can not run any application in an administrative mode (promoted UAC mode) or
    `Run as administrator` ends with the error message:
   `The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it`
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution #1:

Reboot in the Safe Mode and turn on `Appinfo` service:

`sc config Appinfo start= auto`

Solution #2:

The `consent.exe` executable in the `%SYSTEMROOT%\System32` have has not enough
file permissions to start.

Reboot in the Safe Mode and change the file permissions:

1. Take the file ownership to an administator user.
2. Remove permissions which might interfere with the access, for example, the
  `All` user should not be there.
3. Restore ownership to the TrustedInstaller: `NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller`.

5. WINDOWS EVENT VIEWER ERRORS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1. Message `Event filter with query "..." could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003`
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The error:

  Event filter with query
  "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99"
  could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error
  0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem
  is corrected.

Solution #1:

  Based on: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2545227/event-id-10-is-logged-in-the-application-log-after-you-install-service

  Run script `fix_reactivated_in_namespace_eventviewer_error_Event_ID_10.vbs`
  from the `admin/WMI` section.
